What is the issue you’re encountering

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

Hello,

I have a cron run via Rundcloud, but it is blocked by CLoudfflare.

Do you have any idea how to allow it?

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Check your security event log for the reason for the block…
https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/:zone/security/events

…then craft a WAF rule to work around it as tightly as you can (limiting the URI, IP addresses, ASN, user agent or other fields).

If you are using a free plan and Bot Fight Mode is blocking it, you will either need to disable Bot Fight mode (as the WAF can’t bypass it), or use Super Bot Fight mode on a Pro plan.

Hello,

Thanks for your feedback :slight_smile:

I don’t have anything in the security logs, but when I disable the proxy the cron goes through without a problem?

What do you see that says it is blocked?

How long does the cron job take to execute? If more than 100 seconds, Cloudflare will timeout with a 524 error.

Yes, that’s exactly what my error is, error 524

As the 100 second timeout can only be increased with an Enterprise plan, then you will need to do one of…

  • create a separate “DNS only” subdomain for the cron job to call
  • ignore it, your cron job will complete, just not end with the output being sent
  • break your job into parts so each is less than 100 seconds
  • change the job so you call a link to start it that returns immediately, then poll for completion and the result
